Description
1919, the second volume of John Dos Passos's U.S.A. trilogy, is a sweeping panorama of twentieth-century America. Published in 1979, this novel continues to be celebrated for its groundbreaking style and experimental devices that have inspired generations of writers.
The book opens at a pivotal moment in history: America and the world are at war. Dos Passos's characters, many of whom were introduced in the first volume, find themselves caught up in the turmoil. Through their stories, we glimpse the complexities of modern life, from the backgrounds to the foreground, with a cinematic touch that is both nuanced and nerve-wracking.
With 1919, Dos Passos provides an incomparable portrait of America from the turn of the century to the Depression of 1929. This novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern life during this pivotal period.
